Marshmallows for Breakfast is one I'm considering for the last category!
so many good books on your list! i am reading alls fair in love and cupcakes as well, and the selection. i love the jane austen book club (but i'm a huge austen fan) and i can't wait to see what you think of love in the time of cholera, its been on my list for quite some time!
I would LOVE to due this but I have no clue how to find books that fit the categories. Any suggestions on how I can find books that meet the specific criteria?
Great list! I really enjoyed If I Stay.

Love In The Time of Cholera, Carrie, and East of Eden are all on my to read list. My boyfriend read East of Eden and gushed about it for ages afterwards so I'm excited to start it! Blindness by Jose Saramago is a Portuguese novel, I read it in English and loved it (although it is a really dark book). Dear Life by Alice Munro is a great collection of short stories, and In Defense of Food is an incredible book by Michael Pollan. Good luck with the challenge!
If you haven't read Brain on Fire, I really recommend it! It's a great read, especially since it's basically a true autobiography of a certain part of her life.
This is the coolest thing ever, and my goodness, I am soooo doing this on my blog! Yay!
I love your list. I hope you enjoy Carrie! Stephen King is one of my absolute favorites, so I can't count him for that category, but I'd be interested to hear what you think since that's a genre you don't read.
So many people reading East of Eden! I absolutely loved it and I'm tempted to reread it for the challenge...
